when i was planting beans i took a little time to try to sort them out and combine some containers to reduce the space the collection was taking up.
i haven't finished yet and may not until winter now, but i figured i'd take a snapshot of the mayhem in progress:
the containers on the bottom shelf are the ones i have enough of to eat. the rest may be enough to eat a little to sample for flavor, but usually i wait until i can plant them out more to get enough. this year i'm trying to rebuild the lima, yellow eye and a few others to have enough to cook some up. the edamame may need a fence to get them restocked - we'll see if the few plants growing produce and i get a harvest.
